Becoming a Security Officer?

[MarilynEagle]

I am not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I was wondering if becoming a security officer would be a good addition to a resume for ems. For getting jobs as an emt or medic, I wasn't sure if maybe it would help slightly. Of course showing up on time and showing you are a responsible employee is key, but is security experience any help?

If you are applying as a EMT/security officer then yes it will help. If you are applying as a single role EMT then no it won't help.

They're used around here mostly at the Indian casinos. You do all the security guard stuff, plus respond to medical emergencies as a first responder.

I didn't realize that was actually a thing.

It's all over the place in Savannah. Security/EMTs working in industurial settings like paper mills and at the port. They're always hiring. http://www.southsidefire.com/

No clue. I have never been employed as a security guard/EMT.

Around here they are used only in the casino.

no idea either, most of those security classes teach nothing other then... oh look somebody is stealing i will try to confront them. Only thing i can imagine is like a stand-by for a concert type thing, but as a job.
